Arena Coliseo

Top choice in Guadalajara


Watching masked luchadores (wrestlers) with names like El Terrible and Blue Panther gut-punching each other makes for a memorable night out. Expect scantily clad women, insult-hurling crowds and screaming doughnut vendors: it’s all part of the fun of this classic Mexican pastime. The neighborhood surrounding the beloved coliseum can be a bit dodgy; take the usual precautions.

Tuseday night events are typically called 'Martes de Glamour' (Glamour Tuesdays), a tongue-in-cheek reference to the extra raunchiness of the show and crowds.
